Nice alone time!

This was my second time in the unit. My daughter and I came last year, but this year I came solo and enjoyed some well-deserved me time! The condo is comfortable with a great view of the beach. I will likely return in the future.

Week Long Beach vacation

Condo was great! Very clean and cool when we arrived. Kitchen was stocked well enough with cooking utensils. Did not have basic seasonings like salt and pepper so bring your own. Bathrooms are tiny so be prepared to squeeze between the door, shower door and sink. It was nice to have a real table that fit all 5 of us unlike other condos that only have seating at the counter. We would definitely rent this condo again.

Thanks Galveston!

Beach access paired with pool access for cooler days was ideal for us. Our area of the beach was never crowded. The view was amazing, the property was quiet, and we enjoyed our trip immensely. The unit itself was perfect for three of us.
